Halloween just passed, and now Thanksgiving looms on the horizon. So it’ll be Christmas and then New Year’s before you even know it! It’s time to start making a plan for your HVAC system on how you’re going to manage the demands and expectations of the holidays. Our knowledgeable technicians at Springboro Heating & Cooling have put together a list so you can enjoy time with your loved ones, and not have to worry about your system going out during thanksgiving dinner.
- Protect Your Pipes- You will need to make sure you go to your nearest Home Depot to get insulation to protect your pipes.
- Inspect Attic Insulation– If there isn’t proper air ventilation, you can expect your attic to become a breeding ground for mold. A good rule of thumb is to keep this checked regularly.
- Check Your Fireplace- Look for any cracks, gaps, or signs of wear and tear so you can remain safe.
- Get Your Annual Tune-Up & Safety Check- Think of a furnace tune-up as an insurance policy; our technicians will identify and repair any minor problem with your furnace before they develop into bigger issues.
- Inspect Electrical Components- The electrical system in your home has many parts and components to be aware of to ensure a safe home all year long. Inspect to be sure nothing is trapped and avoid hazards.
- Check Thermostat Settings– Keeping an eye on your settings will be one of the factors that will ensure your system is running smoothly.
- Filter Changes- Air filters should be changed regularly in your home to keep your home at your optimal comfort level and to maintain the best air quality possible.
Your furnace isn’t the only thing that can go wrong. Technology is our friend, but it isn’t always our best friend. Keeping that in mind, it makes sense to check if your thermostat and furnace are communicating properly. Doing so will give you peace of mind that your furnace provides warmth and comfort to you and your family. We want homeowners to have a plan of action so the holidays can be merry and bright. We hope this checklist will help you this winter season.
